85g Ground Piri Piri

Haven't opened or used, yet. But Very nice packaging and powder seems to look very high quality and very fine like the picture. Can't wait to use this. Will update if possible.

I love spicy in food, but I love spicy to be flavorful, not just hot. And I love that different peppers have different flavors to accompany the heat. This is a spicy powder - a bit on my tongue burned a bit, but not in an unpleasant way. (Remember, I LOVE spicy, so take that to heart.) But additionally, with the spice was flavor. It had an almost paprika-like smoky sweetness to it, and I can see how it would pair will garlic, lemon, and olive really well.I'm going to make Peri Peri Tofu (I'm a vegetarian) with rice and broccoli using this and this chili flavor will be absolutely lovely in that. I can also imagine it being really complimentary with homemade barbeque sauces, Indian cuisine, and tacos if I want to amp the heat up from chipotle/jalapeno.I will use it sparingly, as others in the house don't have my spice tolerance, but I love that even so the base flavors will shine through. (I'd never even heard of peri peri chili before this, so I am so glad I did, and took a chance.)

This is freshly packed and sealed tightly. The Peri Peri pepper has a bright flavor accompanied by a gorgeous color. It’s been enjoyable to use as a kick of seasoning.

Please note that this is plain ground peri peri, not a peri peri "seasoning blend." Think "chili powder" as compared to "chili seasoning/mix." You would need to add salt and other spices to make a meat rub, marinade, etc.With that said, it's a good starting point for that, especially since a lot of so-called "peri peri seasoning" doesn't even contain real peri peri/bird's eye chili...just cayenne, paprika, etc. to create a similar color and spice level.This ground peri peri comes in a resealable pouch. The label states that it is sourced from India, and it had a 1 year shelf life. It is more finely ground than shown in the images, much more like a powder.It has a smoky, slower building heat that's well rounded and buildable but not overwhelming. A great component for meat rubs, especially chicken. Try it with sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, ginger, and lime.

I prefer my spices to be pure, containing no salt or sugar. This fits the bill. I have no experience with this type of chili pepper but due to the aforementioned, I was open to try.Very glad I ordered this. It has a reasonable hotness and is priced fair. To preserve its flavor, I want to transfer it to an airtight container leaving it in our pantry. I heard somewhere that storing chili pastes/seasonings in room temperature will keep their hotness versus in the fridge.I definitely will be adding this to my veggies. I also can see pairing this with seafood (we are a pescatarian household). Five Stars

I was supposed to receive ground piri piri but I received whole peppers. Not happy.

I was not familiar with this spice, but am always up for trying new flavors. This peri peri is something I like. It is a mild spicy type pepper, and is ground very fine. I make really good chili, and we often grill outside too. I can and will easily add this to my chili dish to bring a slightly different form of spice to it. Not by itself, of course, but it is another note of flavor I’m eager to try. This can also be added to marinades and rubs. We have ribs we are making later in the week, and this seasoning will add a beautiful layer of taste and spice to the rub I normally make. It is packed airtight and seems very fresh. The bag size is quite a nice size too. I’m definitely happy with this product.

I really like the quality of this spice. It is so fresh tasting and I love the packaging. I found the spice to be perfect on the heat index and the freshness of it just makes it so nice to use. I have never cooked with Peri Peri spice so I am excited to try it in a new recipe. I will continue to purchase spices from this company because I like the overall quality of this company
